Hello Sandro,

AArrrgghhh!! I *hate* you! ;) construct is called :-(

Ok, new code for the instances:

----------------8<---------------------------------------------
onClipEvent(load) {
        trace("instance A: loaded");
}

onClipEvent(unload) {
        trace("instance A: unload");
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
        trace("instance A: enterFrame");
}

onClipEvent(construct) {
        trace("instance A: construct");
}
----------------8<---------------------------------------------

I also added some traces to see where gotoAndPlay() is called and when
particular frame actions are executed.

Output:

----------------8<---------------------------------------------
--- first frame ---
instance A: construct
instance A: loaded
_level0.A created in frame 3
instance A: enterFrame
--- gotoAndPlay ---
instance B: construct
instance C: construct
instance A: unload
_level0.A removed in frame 14
instance B: loaded
instance B: unload
instance C: loaded
_level0.C created in frame 14
instance C: enterFrame
--- last frame ---
----------------8<---------------------------------------------

Now, to make it a bit more complicated, you see that "loaded" is
printed even if I said in my previous post that it gets not fired.
That's because I define onClipEvent(unload). No clue why, but
onClipEvent(load) works only when there is a "unload" event handler.

SWF5 and earlier don't support these features (onUnload, construct,
...). SWF6 doesn't support onClipEvent(construct), but shows otherwise
the same output. SWF7-8: no difference

BTW, onClipEvent(construct) is not documented.


My SWF in version 7 attached.


Now, I'm interested in some explanation for this new fact :(
